EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

This report presents an Addendum to the Determination of Effects Report dated August 2015 for 

the proposed Amtrak Zoo to Paoli Electrification Transmission Line Project. The National 

Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) is proposing a modernization project that includes the 

replacement of approximately 325 80- to 100-year-old catenary structures, transmission lines, 

signal power lines, and the Bryn Mawr Substation building, all of which lie within the right-ofway (ROW) of a 20-mile section of Amtrak’s Keystone Corridor between the Philadelphia Zoo 

and the substation at Paoli. Amtrak is undertaking this project using funding from the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA). Subsequent to the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation 

Office (PA SHPO) concurrence with the Determination of Effects Report on October 8, 2015, an 

increase in heights of some of the catenary pole structures due to a redesign required a reassessment of effects to some of the identified historic resources. The results of the reassessment are presented in this Addendum report. 

The project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE), defined in consultation among FRA, Amtrak, the 

PA SHPO and other Consulting Parties was presented in the Area of Potential Effects 

Delineation Study dated September 14, 2014. The Historic Resources Study, also dated 

September 14, 2014, included 28 historic properties, one of which was the Pennsylvania Railroad 

Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675). The PA SHPO concurred with the 

identification of the 28 historic properties on March 16, 2015, and April 24, 2015. 

The subsequent effects analysis resulted in a finding of Adverse Effect because of the direct 

physical effects of the project to the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to 

Harrisburg), due to the removal and replacement of the catenary structures with taller structures 

and the demolition of the Bryn Mawr Substation, both of which are Contributing Resources. 

As a result of the public involvement meetings during the design process, Amtrak minimized the 

visual impacts caused by the taller catenary structures by reducing the pole heights while 

retaining the height necessary to meet regulatory and safety requirements. Minimization of the 

tree trimming necessary for construction also was achieved by the preparation of a set of tree 

trimming plans. An assessment of the project’s indirect visual effects on the historic properties 

in the APE resulted in the finding that none of the visual effects, including the introduction of the 

increased catenary structure heights and the tree trimming, will adversely affect the 

characteristics that qualify the resources for listing in the National Register of Historic Places 

(NRHP). The PA SHPO concurred with the finding on October 8, 2015 (McLearen 2015). 

In January 2016, following refinement of the plan for tree trimming required for the installation 

of the new catenary structures, Amtrak directed the redesign of the transmission lines and 82 

catenary structures to eliminate tree trimming beyond the ROW in areas where it is narrow, 

primarily in residential areas. The redesign included the vertical stacking of the lines on the 

track-side (inside) of the catenary structures. This will result in an increase in pole heights of 10 

to 15 feet in some locations. 

Because of the catenary structure height increase in certain locations, a re-assessment of the 

project’s indirect visual effects on historic properties, including the railroad itself, was completed 

as part of this addendum. On behalf of Amtrak and the FRA, Stell Environmental (Stell), as a 

subconsultant to The Burns Group, found during the re-assessment that the current APE remains 
Addendum Determination of Effects Report Amtrak Zoo to Paoli Electrification 

Transmission Line Project 

Stell Environmental ES-2 June 2016 

the same and that seven (7) historic properties, including the railroad, may be affected by the 

revised design. 

Re-assessment of the effects found that, despite the height increase at the locations, the indirect 

visual effects caused by the increased catenary structure heights will not adversely affect the 

characteristics that qualify the historic properties for listing in the NRHP. However, the previous 

finding of Adverse Effect remains the same for the railroad because of the direct physical effects 

of the project to the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg). 

Therefore, the re-assessment of effects for historic properties for the Amtrak Philadelphia Zoo to 

Paoli Electrification Transmission Line Project yields the same finding as the first Determination 

of Effects assessment—that the project will have an Adverse Effect on historic properties, 

because of the adverse effect on the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to 

Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675). 

Subsequent to these studies, Stell discovered that one of the 28 historic properties, the Villanova 

Station (Key No. 827801), was only determined NRHP-eligible as a contributing resource to the 

Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675) and has not 

been determined individually NRHP-eligible. Therefore, only 27 individually NRHP-eligible or 

-listed historic resources are located within the project APE. To maintain consistency among 

project documents, the “resource number” assigned to each of the originally listed 28 resources 

has been retained for each of the remaining 27 resources.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 

Amtrak (National Railroad Passenger Corporation) proposes to upgrade the overhead 

electrification system along a portion of its Keystone Corridor between the Philadelphia Zoo and 

Paoli substations in Pennsylvania (Appendix A: Figures 1 and 2). Amtrak is undertaking this 

project using funding from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The 20-mile-long project 

area lies within a section of the corridor that stretches between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, 

historically known as the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key 

No. 105675), a linear historic district that was determined eligible for listing in the National 

Register of Historic Places (NRHP) by the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (PA 

SHPO) on September 14, 1995, and again on November 16, 2007. The historic district is eligible 

under Criterion A in the areas of transportation and economics and Criterion C for engineering. 

It contains a number of contributing resources, including the catenary structures and the Bryn 

Mawr Substation; the project involves the removal and replacement of both of these resources as 

part of the project. 

Because FRA funding is involved, this project is subject to review and compliance under Section 

106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended (54 U.S.C 470 § 

306108) , and Procedures for the Protection of Historic and Cultural Properties set forth in 36 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 800, as amended. Additional legislation and guidance 

followed in the review of this project included: 

 “Working with Section106” Guidance published by the ACHP on https://achp.org; 

 Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1966, as amended in 1968; 

 Executive Order 11593, Protection and Enhancement of the Cultural Environment; and 

 42 U.S.C. § 4331(b) (4) and 4332, the NHPA. 

 Guidelines for Architectural Investigations in Pennsylvania, 2014.

Stell Environmental (Stell) conducted the required cultural resources studies between 2011 and 

2016 as a subconsultant to The Burns Group, on behalf of Amtrak and the FRA. 

1.1 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT 

The Area of Potential Effects (APE) was developed through consultation among FRA, Amtrak, 

the PA SHPO, and other Consulting Parties and was presented in Area of Potential Effects 

Delineation Studies (Ross 2014). Stell completed identification and eligibility studies between 

2012 and 2015 and found that there are 28 historic properties in the project’s APE, including the 

subject railroad. The results of the studies are presented in the June 2015 report Historic 

Resources Study, which was finalized after incorporating FRA eligibility determinations made in 

consultation with PA SHPO (Ross 2015b, 2015c). The PA SHPO concurred with FRA’s 

National Register eligibility determinations on March 16, 2015, and April 24, 2015 (MacDonald 

2015a, 2015b) (Appendix B). 

Following PA SHPO concurrence with the eligibility determinations, Stell conducted an effects 

assessment to determine the direct and indirect effects of the proposed undertaking on all of the 

historic properties in the APE. Based on this assessment, FRA determined that the proposed 

project will have an Adverse Effect on one of the historic properties, the Pennsylvania Railroad 

Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675). The project will have direct, physical

Stell Environmental 1-2 June 2016 

effects on the railroad resource because the railroad’s contributing resources, the catenary 

structures and the Bryn Mawr Substation building, will be removed and replaced. An analysis of 

the indirect effects of the project, those that encompass visual, audible, and other types of effects, 

found that the project will not adversely affect the other historic properties in the APE. The PA 

SHPO concurred with the finding on October 8, 2015 (McLearen 2015) (Appendix B). The 

results of the effects assessment can be found in the Determination of Effects Report dated 

August 2015 (Ross 2015a). 

FRA and Amtrak have consulted with the PA SHPO and other Consulting Parties throughout the 

course of the project. Measures to minimize and mitigate the adverse effects of the project have 

been identified in consultation with the Consulting Parties. FRA and Amtrak included measures 

to minimize the adverse effects by keeping the height of the new catenary structures as low as 

possible while meeting regulatory and safety requirements, locating new catenary structures 

within close proximity to the existing ones, and developing tree trimming plans to indicate 

locations where overhanging trees limbs within the ROW will be trimmed to enable catenary 

structure replacement. 

The measures to mitigate the adverse effects of this project that were identified at public and 

Consulting Parties meetings are included in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between 

FRA, PA SHPO, and Amtrak that is currently being developed. 

1.2 REVISED NUMBER OF HISTORIC PROPERTIES WITHIN THE PROJECT APE 

Subsequent to the development of the APE, the submission of the Determination of Eligibility 

and Determination of Effects reports, and concurrence by the PA SHPO, Stell discovered that 

one of the 28 historic properties, the Villanova Station (Key No. 827801), was only determined 

NRHP-eligible as a contributing resource to the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia 

to Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675) and has not been determined individually NRHP-eligible. 

Therefore, only 27 individually NRHP-eligible or -listed historic resources are located within the 

project APE. To maintain consistency among project documents, the “resource number” 

assigned to each resource remains the same. 

1.3 REVISED CATENARY STRUCTURE HEIGHTS 

Following the submission of the Determination of Effects Report and concurrence by the PA 

SHPO, the design of some of the catenary structures was revised. In December 2015, as a result 

of meetings with Amtrak, The Burns Group was directed to redesign a number of catenary pole 

structures in residential areas where the ROW is narrow in order to avoid tree trimming that is 

necessary for the catenary installation from occurring outside the Amtrak ROW line on adjacent 

properties. To contain tree trimming within the existing ROW, the design of the catenary 

structures was revised to vertically stack the transmission and catenary lines on the track-side 

(inside) of the catenary structures (Appendix A). This will result in an increase in pole height of 

10 to 15 feet in some locations to meet required separation distances between the electrified lines 

(Appendix A: Figure 3). 

Because of the height increase in certain locations, Stell completed a review to determine which 

of the 27 historic properties, including the railroad itself, would require re-assessment of the 

project’s indirect visual effects due to the redesigned catenary structures. The re-assessment 

found that the current APE remains the same and that seven (7) historic properties could be 
Addendum Determination of Effects Report Amtrak Zoo to Paoli Electrification 

Transmission Line Project 

Stell Environmental 1-3 June 2016 

affected by the redesigned structures. The historic properties in the APE in the vicinity of the 

redesigned catenary structures are: 

 Resource 8: Merion Station (Key No. 097341) 

 Resource 9: Wynnewood Station (Key No. 097340) 

 Resource 13: Villanova University Campus (Key No. 105136) 

 Resource 20: Strafford Station (Key No. 079668) 

 Resource 21: Cramond (Key No. 050893) 

 Resource 22: Grove Avenue Service Station (Key No. 112814) 

 Resource 24: Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key No. 

105675).

The Definition of Effect and the Criteria of Adverse Effect were applied to each historic property 

(Advisory Council on Historic Preservation [ACHP] 2014), and FRA has determined that, 

despite the further height increase at these locations, the visual effects caused by the increased 

catenary structure heights would not adversely affect the characteristics that qualify the resources 

for listing in the NRHP. As with the initial assessment, the railroad infrastructure, including its 

catenary system, has historically been an integral and necessary component of the railroad and its 

overall physical setting. The nineteenth and early twentieth century siting and construction of 

the historic properties in the railroad’s immediate vicinity were a direct result of the railroad’s 

presence. The properties have historically had the railroad and all features of its accompanying 

infrastructure within their view. Thus, the presence of new catenary structures, including the 

height addition, will not result in an adverse effect. The results of the effects assessment follow 

in Section 2.0.

2.0 EFFECTS RE-ASSESSMENT ON HISTORIC PROPERTIES 

Stell conducted the effects re-assessment on the seven (7) historic properties using the Definition 

of Effect and Criteria of Adverse Effect described in the Determination of Effects Report and is 

presented below. Presented first is a comparison of Existing Structures and 2014 and 2016 

Designed Catenary Structures, followed by the application of the Definition of Effect and the 

Criteria of Adverse Effect to each resource, where warranted. Because the southern and northern 

pole heights sometimes differ, each is indicated with a (S) or a (N) in the tables, depending on 

which side they are located within the ROW. In the 2016 Design column, only the poles with 

heights that are being changed in the 2016 design are included in the tables. 

2.1 RESOURCE 8: MERION STATION (KEY NO. 097341) 

Merion Station, in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County was determined individually 

eligible for NRHP listing on November 8, 1991 (CRGIS 2015). The station building complex, a 

combination train station and U.S. Post Office, is significant under Criterion A in the area of 

transportation for its association with the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line, and under Criterion 

C in the area of architecture. Table 2-1 below shows a comparison of the existing pole heights 

with the 2014 and 2016 designed pole heights. Tables 2-2 and 2-3 present the results of the 

effects assessment.

Table 2-2: Results of Application of Definition of Effect for Merion Station

Definition of Effect Evaluation

An Effect may occur when there is alteration to the 

characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for 

inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register as 

defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i). 

The location of the new structure near the station 

building may introduce visual elements that are 

incompatible with the setting and that may alter the 

characteristics that qualify the station for listing in the 

NRHP, which include its distinctive Craftsman-style 

architecture. 

Finding The proposed undertaking will have an Effect on the 

Merion Station, resulting in a finding of Historic 

Properties Affected. Pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.11(e) 

the Criteria of Adverse Effect must be applied. 

 
Addendum Determination of Effects Report Amtrak Zoo to Paoli Electrification 

Transmission Line Project 

Stell Environmental 2-2 June 2016 

Table 2-3: Results of Application of Criteria of Adverse Effect for Merion Station 

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

Adverse effects on historic properties include, but may not be limited to:

(i) Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of a 

property 

The proposed project will not result in physical 

destruction or damage to the Merion Station. 

(ii) Alteration of a property, including restoration, 

rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, stabilization, 

hazardous material remediation, and provision for 

handicapped access that is not consistent with the 

Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines 

The replacement of the catenary structures will not alter 

the Merion Station in a manner that is inconsistent with 

the Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines. 

(iii) Removal of the property from its historic location The proposed project will not result in the removal of 

the Merion Station from its historic location. 

(iv) Change of the character of the property’s use or of 

physical features within the property’s setting that 

contribute to its historic significance 

The proposed project will not change the character of 

the station’s use. The 7’-11” to 25’-0” height increase 

of the new catenary structures will change the character 

of the physical features within the property’s setting. 

The change in character will be minimal, however. The 

introduction of the increased structure heights will not 

be incompatible with the existing setting as it 

contributes to the property’s historic significance. The 

station’s significance is derived from its direct 

relationship with the railroad. The railroad and its 

features, including catenary structures, have always been 

an important part of the station’s setting. 

(v) Introduction of visual, atmospheric, or audible 

elements that diminish the integrity of the property’s 

significant historic features 

The two new catenary structures to be installed near the 

station building will introduce visual elements; however 

they will not be incompatible with the railroad-related 

property and will not diminish the integrity of the 

property and the character-defining features of its 

Craftsman-style architecture. The tree trimming will not 

introduce visual elements that diminish the integrity of 

the property’s significant historic features. The removal 

and installation of new catenary structures will introduce 

audible and vibration elements; however, they will be of 

a temporary nature and will cease upon project 

completion. 

(vi) Neglect of a property, which causes its 

deterioration, except where such neglect and 

deterioration are recognized qualities of a property of 

religious and cultural significance to an Indian tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization 

The proposed project will not result in the neglect or 

deterioration of the Merion Station. 

(vii) Transfer, lease, or sale of property out of Federal 

ownership or control without adequate and legally 

enforceable restrictions or conditions to ensure longterm preservation of the property’s historic significance 

The proposed project will not result in the transfer, 

lease, or sale of the Merion Station. 

Finding The proposed project will have No Adverse Effect on 

the Merion Station.

2.2 RESOURCE 9: WYNNEWOOD STATION (KEY NO. 097340) 

Wynnewood Station, in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, was constructed in 1870 

and was determined individually eligible for NRHP listing on November 8, 1991 (CRGIS 2015). 

The station is significant under Criterion A in the area of transportation and under Criterion C in 

the area of architecture. There are no catenary structures currently in front of the station 

buildings; however, there are two sets of structures to the east and west of the station. Table 2-4 

below shows a comparison of the existing pole heights and the 2014 and 2016 designed pole 

heights. Table 2-5 presents the results of the effects assessment.

All other poles remain the same as 2014 design. 

Table 2-5: Results of Application of Definition of Effect for Wynnewood Station 

Definition of Effect Evaluation

An Effect may occur when there is alteration to the 

characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for 

inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register as 

defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i). 

The new structures will be at distances of approximately 

50’-0” and 125’-0” from the station buildings. Because of 

this distance, the proposed project will not introduce 

incompatible visual elements to the station’s setting, and 

it will not alter any of the characteristics that qualify the 

station for listing in the NRHP, including its Stick style 

architecture. 

Finding The proposed project will not have an Effect on the 

Wynnewood Station, resulting in a finding of No Historic 

Properties Affected. 

2.3 RESOURCE 13: VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS (KEY NO. 105136) 

Villanova University Campus, in Radnor Township, Delaware County, was determined eligible 

for NRHP listing on April 4, 1995 (CRGIS 2015). The resource is significant under Criterion A 

in the area of education and under Criterion C in the area of architecture. Nine (9) sets of poles 

measuring 50’-2”-high in the ROW adjacent to Villanova University Campus will be removed 

and replaced with 12 new sets of poles ranging from approximately 64’-31⁄2” to 88’-73⁄4” high. 

The majority of the 2016 revised pole height increases occur to the poles on the southern side of 

the ROW. Table 2-6 below shows a comparison of the existing pole heights and the 2014 and 

revised 2016 designed pole heights. Tables 2-7 and 2-8 present the results of the effects 

assessment.

Table 2-7: Results of Application of Definition of Effect for Villanova University Campus

Definition of Effect Evaluation

An Effect may occur when there is alteration to the 

characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for 

inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register as 

defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i). 

Nine existing 50’-2”-high sets of catenary structures will 

be replaced with 12 new catenary structures, with poles 

ranging from 64’-31⁄2” to 88’-73⁄4” in height. Because the 

structure locations are within the ROW adjacent to the 

historic district, the project may introduce a visual 

element to the property’s setting, and it may alter the 

characteristics that qualify the property for listing in the 

NRHP. 

Finding The proposed project will have an Effect on the 

Villanova University Campus, resulting in a finding of 

Historic Properties Affected. Pursuant to 36 CFR Part 

800.11(e) the Criteria of Adverse Effect must be 

applied.

Table 2-8: Results of Application of Criteria of Adverse Effect for Villanova University 

Campus

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

Adverse effects on historic properties include, but may not be limited to:

(i) Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of a 

property 

The proposed project will not result in destruction or 

damage to the Villanova University Campus. 

(ii) Alteration of a property, including restoration, 

rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, stabilization, 

hazardous material remediation, and provision for 

handicapped access that is not consistent with the 

Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines 

The replacement of the nine catenary structures with 12 

higher structures will not alter the Villanova University 

Campus in a manner that is inconsistent with the 

Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines. 

(iii) Removal of the property from its historic location The proposed project will not remove Villanova 

University Campus from its historic location. 

(iv) Change of the character of the property’s use or of 

physical features within the property’s setting that 

contribute to its historic significance 

The proposed project will not change the character of 

the use of the Villanova University Campus. The 14’-

11⁄2” to 38’-53⁄4” height increase in the 12 new catenary 

structures will, however, change the character of some 

physical features within the historic property’s setting. 

The change in character will be minimal because the 

introduction of the increased structure height will not be 

incompatible with the existing setting, as it contributes 

to the historic significance of the campus. 

(v) Introduction of visual, atmospheric, or audible 

elements that diminish the integrity of the property’s 

significant historic features

The installation of the structures will introduce visual 

elements; however, they will not be incompatible with 

the property and its significant historic features and will 

not affect the property’s ability to convey its 

significance in education and architecture. The 

proposed project will introduce incompatible audible 

and vibration elements; however, they will be of a 

temporary nature during the work at this location and 

will cease upon project completion. 

(vi) Neglect of a property, which causes its 

deterioration, except where such neglect and 

deterioration are recognized qualities of a property of 

religious and cultural significance to an Indian tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization 

The proposed project will not result in the neglect or 

deterioration of the Villanova University Campus. 

(vii) Transfer, lease, or sale of property out of Federal 

ownership or control without adequate and legally 

enforceable restrictions or conditions to ensure longterm preservation of the property’s historic 

significance 

The proposed project will not result in the transfer, 

lease, or sale of the Villanova University Campus. 

Finding The proposed project will have No Adverse Effect on 

the Villanova University Campus.

2.4 RESOURCE 20: STRAFFORD STATION (KEY NO. 079668) 

Strafford Station, in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, was listed in the NRHP on July 26, 

1984 (CRGIS 2015). The station is significant under Criterion A in the area of transportation 

and under Criterion C in the area of architecture. One new structure will be placed 

approximately 10’-0” east of the existing structure, which currently lies within the NRHP 

boundary. The new structure also lies within the NRHP boundary and will be located 

approximately 20’-0” east of the station building (Goshorn 1984). Table 2-9 below shows a 

comparison of the existing pole heights and the 2014 and revised 2016 designed pole heights. 

Tables 2-10 and 2-11 present the results of the effects assessment.

Table 2-10: Results of Application of Definition of Effect for Strafford Station

Definition of Effect Evaluation

An Effect may occur when there is alteration to the 

characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for 

inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register as 

defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i). 

One structure with poles at 61’-81⁄4” and 69’-81⁄4” will 

replace a structure with poles that are 50’-2” high. 

Because of its location 20’-0” east of the station building 

and its location within the boundaries of the historic 

property, the project may introduce incompatible visual 

elements to the station’s setting, and it may alter the 

characteristics that qualify the property for listing in the 

NRHP. 

Finding The proposed project will have an Effect on Strafford 

Station, resulting in a finding of Historic Properties 

Affected. Pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.11(e) the 

Criteria of Adverse Effect must be applied. 

Table 2-11: Results of Application of Criteria of Adverse Effect for Strafford Station 

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

Adverse effects on historic properties include, but may not be limited to:

(i) Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of a 

property 

The proposed project will not result in physical 

destruction of or damage to Strafford Station.

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

(ii) Alteration of a property, including restoration, 

rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, stabilization, 

hazardous material remediation, and provision for 

handicapped access that is not consistent with the 

Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines 

The installation of the 61’-81⁄4” and 69’-8 1⁄4” high poles 

will not alter Strafford Station in a manner that is 

inconsistent with the Secretary’s Standards for the 

Treatment of Historic Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and 

applicable guidelines. 

(iii) Removal of the property from its historic location The proposed project will not remove Strafford Station, 

or any of its elements, from its historic location. 

(iv) Change of the character of the property’s use or of 

physical features within the property’s setting that 

contribute to its historic significance 

The proposed project will not change the character of 

the station’s use. The 11’-61⁄4” to 19’-61⁄4” height 

increase in the poles and their shifted location will 

change the character of the physical features. The 

change in character will be minimal, however, because 

the increased structure height will not be incompatible 

with the existing setting and will not affect the 

property’s ability to convey its historic significance. 

The railroad’s infrastructure, including the catenary 

structures and overhead system, has always been an 

integral part of the station’s setting. 

(v) Introduction of visual, atmospheric, or audible 

elements that diminish the integrity of the property’s 

significant historic features 

The installation of the taller catenary structure in front of 

the station building will introduce a visual element; 

however it will not be incompatible with the station and 

will not diminish the integrity of the station’s distinctive 

architectural features. The tree trimming will not 

introduce visual elements that diminish the integrity of 

the property’s significant historic features. 

The proposed project will introduce incompatible 

audible and vibration elements; however, they will be of 

a temporary nature and will cease upon project 

completion. 

(vi) Neglect of a property, which causes its 

deterioration, except where such neglect and 

deterioration are recognized qualities of a property of 

religious and cultural significance to an Indian tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization 

The project will not result in the neglect or deterioration 

of the Strafford Station. 

(vii) Transfer, lease, or sale of property out of Federal 

ownership or control without adequate and legally 

enforceable restrictions or conditions to ensure longterm preservation of the property’s historic 

significance 

The project will not result in the transfer, lease, or sale 

of the Strafford Station. 

Finding The proposed project will have No Adverse Effect on 

the Strafford Station. 

2.5 RESOURCE 21: CRAMOND (KEY NO. 050893) 

The house known as Cramond, in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, was listed in the NRHP 

on June 30, 1983 (CRGIS 2015). The property is significant under Criterion C in the area of 

architecture. Cramond is located more than 200’-0” north of the railroad ROW at Strafford 

Station. Table 2-12 below shows a comparison of the existing pole heights and the 2014 and

An Effect may occur when there is alteration to the 

characteristics of a historic property qualifying it for 

inclusion in or eligibility for the National Register as 

defined in 36 CFR 800.16(i). 

One set of structures with poles at 61’-81⁄4” and 69’-81⁄4” 

high will replace a structure with 50’-2”-high poles. The 

structure will be at a distance of 150’-0” from the 

historic property. Because of the distance, the project 

will not cause the introduction of incompatible visual 

elements to its setting. The project will not alter the 

characteristics that qualify the property for listing in the 

NRHP, including its architectural distinction and the fact 

that it was designed by a notable architectural firm. 

Finding The proposed project will not have an Effect on 

Cramond, resulting in a finding of No Historic 

Properties Affected. 

2.6 RESOURCE 22: GROVE AVENUE SERVICE STATION (KEY NO. 112814) 

The Grove Avenue Service Station in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, was determined 

eligible for NRHP listing on March 2, 2000 (CRGIS 2015). The property is significant under 

Criterion A for transportation and under Criterion C in the area of architecture (CRGIS 2015). 

Table 2-14 below shows a comparison of the existing pole heights and the 2014 and revised 2016

Finding The proposed project will not have an Effect on the 

Grove Avenue Service Station, resulting in a finding of 

No Historic Properties Affected. 

2.7 RESOURCE 24: PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD MAIN LINE (PHILADELPHIA 

TO HARRISBURG) (KEY NO. 105675) 

The Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) railroad corridor historic 

district was determined eligible for NRHP-listing on September 14, 1993, and on November 16, 

2007 (CRGIS 2015). The resource meets NRHP Criteria A and C for its statewide significance 

in transportation, economy, and the development of Pennsylvania’s industries and communities. 

A total of 325 catenary structures, including their poles, are proposed to be removed and 

replaced along a 16-mile-long section between 51st Street and the Paoli Substation. Along with 

their replacement, the new structures’ poles will be higher, as shown on mapping in Appendix A. 

The catenary structures are contributing resources to the NRHP-eligible Pennsylvania Railroad 

Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg). Appendix A figures show the project area and the 

locations of the catenary structures re-designed in 2016 to avoid trimming trees beyond the 

Amtrak right-of-way. Appendix C shows a comparison of the 2014 and revised 2016 designed 

pole heights. Tables 2-16 and 2-17 present the results of the effects assessment of the catenary 

structure removal and replacement on the railroad. 

Table 2-16: Results of Application of Definition of Effect for Pennsylvania Railroad Main

in the NRHP. 

Finding The proposed project will have an Effect on 

Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to 

Harrisburg), resulting in a finding of Historic Properties 

Affected. Pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800.11(e) the Criteria 

of Adverse Effect must be applied. 

Table 2-17: Results of Application of Criteria of Adverse Effect for Pennsylvania Railroad 

Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg)

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

Adverse effects on historic properties include, but may not be limited to:

(i) Physical destruction of or damage to all or part of a 

property 

The proposed project will cause the removal of 325 

catenary structures between 51st Street and the Paoli 

Substation. It will also cause the demolition of the 

Bryn Mawr Substation, resulting in the physical 

destruction of two of the property’s Contributing 

Resources. 

(ii) Alteration of a property, including restoration, 

rehabilitation, repair, maintenance, stabilization, 

hazardous material remediation, and provision for 

handicapped access that is not consistent with the 

Secretary’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic 

Properties (36 CFR Part 68) and applicable guidelines 

The removal of the catenary structures and the Bryn 

Mawr Substation will cause alterations to the property 

that are not consistent with the Secretary’s Standards 

for the Treatment of Historic Properties (36 CFR Part 

68) and applicable guidelines. 

(iii) Removal of the property from its historic location The proposed project will cause the removal of the 

catenary structures and the Bryn Mawr Substation from 

their historic locations. 

(iv) Change of the character of the property’s use or of 

physical features within the property’s setting that 

contribute to its historic significance 

The proposed project will not change the character of 

the railroad’s use. The project will change the character 

of the physical features within the historic property’s 

setting. The changes in the character will be minimal, 

however. The change of the catenary structures, 

including the addition of higher poles, within the 

railroad’s setting will not be incompatible with the 

current setting. Catenary structures have historically 

been a part of the railroad’s setting and operation, and a 

change in the current structures to higher ones will not 

affect the property’s setting and the property’s ability to 

convey historic significance.

Criteria of Adverse Effect Evaluation

(v) Introduction of visual, atmospheric, or audible 

elements that diminish the integrity of the property’s 

significant historic features 

The installation of the new and higher catenary 

structures will introduce new visual elements; however 

they will not be incompatible with the resource and will 

not diminish the overall integrity of the railroad and its 

significant features. The tree trimming will not 

introduce visual elements that will diminish the 

integrity of the property’s significant historic features. 

The proposed project will, however, introduce a new 

substation that will diminish the integrity of the setting 

and feeling of the property at Bryn Mawr. 

The proposed project will introduce incompatible 

audible and vibration elements; however, they will be 

of a temporary nature and will cease upon project 

completion. 

(vi) Neglect of a property, which causes its 

deterioration, except where such neglect and 

deterioration are recognized qualities of a property of 

religious and cultural significance to an Indian tribe or 

Native Hawaiian organization 

The proposed project will not result in the neglect or 

deterioration of the historic railroad as a whole, but 

instead will improve the railroad and its operation. 

 (vii) Transfer, lease, or sale of property out of Federal 

ownership or control without adequate and legally 

enforceable restrictions or conditions to ensure longterm preservation of the property’s historic 

significance 

The proposed project will not result in the transfer, 

lease, or sale of the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line 

(Philadelphia to Harrisburg) section. 

Finding The proposed project will have an Adverse Effect on 

the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to 

Harrisburg) section.

Effect 

The re-assessment of effects for seven (7) historic properties for the Amtrak Philadelphia Zoo to 

Paoli Electrification Transmission Project yields the same finding as the first Determination of 

Effects assessment—that the project will have an Adverse Effect on historic properties, because 

of the adverse effect on the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key 

No. 105675). The following summary and Table 3-2 reiterate the findings from the original 

Determination of Effects Report; no findings of effect have changed as a result of the redesign 

and increase in height of certain catenary poles in the APE. 

 The proposed project will have an Adverse Effect on one (1) historic property; 

 The proposed project will have No Adverse Effect on 10 historic properties; and 

 A finding of No Historic Properties Affected has been found for 17 historic properties.

Re: 2012-0005-042-R and V 

Zoo to Paoli Electrification Transmission Line Upgrade 

Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties 

Dear Mr. Valenstein: 

Thank you for submitting information concerning the above referenced project. The Bureau for Historic 

Preservation (the State Historic Preservation Office) reviews projects in accordance with state and federal laws. 

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and the implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 

800) of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, is the primary federal legislation. The Environmental 

Rights amendment, Article 1, Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Pennsylvania History Code, 

37 Pa. Cons. Stat. Section 500 et seq. (1988) is the primary state legislation. These laws include consideration of 

the project's potential effects on both historic and archaeological resources. 

We are in agreement that the above listed project will adversely affect historic properties due to the removal 

and replacement of catenary structures and the Bryn Mawr Substation, contributing resources to the 

Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line (Philadelphia to Harrisburg) (Key No. 105675). We are of the opinion that 

there has been adequate consultation with our office and the consulting parties regarding ways to avoid, 

minimize, or mitigate effects on historic properties. We look forward to a review of a draft Memorandum of 

Agreement that includes the mitigation measures discussed at the September 2, 2015 meeting and outlined in 

the associated follow up memorandum of September 29, 2015. Finally, to comply with the regulations of the 

Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, you must follow the procedures outlined in 36 CFR 800.6, when 

the effect is adverse. 

Please contact Barbara Frederick at (717) 772-0921 for further information regarding this review. 

Sincerely, 

Douglas C. McLearen, Chief 

Division of Archaeology & Protection
